Mind Over MIDI - Statement

Review by Mia Miller

Mind Over MIDI's album Statement is a mesmerizing journey into the depths of ambient and electronic music. The Norwegian producer, Helge Tømmervåg, masterfully blends analog and digital sounds to create a sonic landscape that is both ethereal and grounded.

The album opens with "Dimma," a meditative track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The layers of synths and samples create a lush atmosphere that is both calming and introspective. The title track, "Statement," has a more upbeat tempo with a driving bassline and glitchy percussion. It's a standout track that showcases Tømmervåg's ability to create complex rhythms while maintaining a dreamy ambiance.

Other highlights include "Moln," a hauntingly beautiful track with a simple piano melody that builds into a wall of sound, and "Tid," a track that evokes a sense of nostalgia with its warm, fuzzy synths. The album closes with "Skyting," a slow-building track that gradually introduces new textures and sounds before fading into silence.

Summary by Mia Miller

Statement is a stunning album that showcases Mind Over MIDI's talent for creating immersive and intricate soundscapes. It's a must-listen for fans of ambient and electronic music.
